Legal luminary, Femi Falana says he expects the police to
arrest Ebele Obiano and Bianca Ojukwu.
The wife of former Anambra Governor Willie Obiano, and
ex-Ambassador to Spain, Bianca Ojukwu fought on Thursday.
The fistfight occurred in Awka at the inauguration of
Charles Soludo as Governor.
Falana noted that the police would have taken the duo into
custody if they were not prominent citizens.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) insisted that the two
women committed an offence.
“The offence of affray occurs when two or more people engage
in a fight in public. It is punishable under Section 83 of the Criminal Code.
“The fact that the two VIPs were not arrested has once again
confirmed that Nigeria operates two sets of laws, one for the rich and one for
the poor.”
Falana said if Ebele and Bianca were commoners, “they would
have been arrested, detained, and charged” for disrupting the event.
